Link versus Cloud posted...

Samus is a good main for a casual. She is just very satisfying to play with charge shot, projectile spam, and large grab length. Plus she doesn't take much tech skill to win with a lot at mid levels of play.

I played both SSB and SSB4 very casually and main'd Samus in both. Melee I played much more competitively and didn't really touch Samus there. Brawl I didn't play enough to really develop a main.

For amateurs like me, the grab length was one of the worst parts of Samus.

Back when I was like 11 or 12 years old playing videogames at my babysitter's house, I played Smash for the first time, and recognized Pikachu most so he was my first player. After running through single player with Pikachu for a few days, I picked up Samus having never played Metroid before because I though "he" looked super cool.

I hadn't played Ocarina or seen any Zelda 3D to that point (only played multiplayer games because I didn't own an N64) so I didn't recognize Link as the character I had played as for years on the NES, especially because I always chose a custom name as a little kid.
